Chapter 380

The morning light was dim, and it slowly drove along the Sha River from the south.

At the beginning, there were only some graceful black shadows, which were extremely conspicuous in the white snow.

The alarm bells have sounded in the whole city of Liaoyang, and the trumpets have sounded and the fighting drums have been lit. Artillery and infantry have all climbed to the top of the city and taken their place.

The north wind blows the nine-headed birds' flag, making a sound.

The Qing army was getting closer and could see them clearly with their naked eyes. The first one appeared was a white army, a plain white flag, a plain white military uniform, and even the war horses sitting down were plain white. Walking on the snow, it seemed to blend with the snow. This white army held a white flag, and there was a blue dragon on the flag. The soldiers were wearing white cotton armor, and the high helmets were covered with red helmet tassels.

They flocked to the war horses, swords, bows, and spears, and spread out the wide crescent formation.

These are the soldiers of the Zhengbai Banner. The Bayala Guardian Camp led by Dorgon himself. On both sides are the Forward Camp and the Cavalry Camp, and behind are the Han and Mongolian Banners under Dorgon, as well as the Baoyi Slaves.

Two miles away from the southern city of Liaoyang, Dorgon ordered the cessation of advancement and began to line up.

The Chu army on the top of the city can see the Qing army, and the Zhengbai Banner army under the city can also see the city.

Dorgon raised his thousand-mile mirror and looked at Liaoyang City for a few glances. He found that Liaoyang City was heavily guarded, and the nine-headed bird flag on the top of the city was waving.

"Come here, send my king's letter of surrender!"

A Bayala took the letter and rushed towards the city by horse. The Bayala, who wanted to show off her riding skills in front of the Ming army, suddenly found that she could not show off. Going forward, within three hundred steps below the city, there were horse-resistance, horse pits, iron dysentery, deer feet piles, etc.

He quickly strangled the war horse, and the war horseman stood up and almost lifted him off the horse.

In the end, he had to dismount honestly and carefully jumped left and right in the trap area.

Dorgon, who was behind, looked unhappy when he saw this. What was this idiot doing? He lost all the face of the Qing army.

The Bayala didn't know that he had been annoyed by Prince Rui, so he had a lot of energy to finally come to the city, then took off his bow, tied the letter to the arrow, and shot it towards the city.

"The letter from the general town, the Tatars!" An officer submitted the letter.

Fu Shan took it and opened it.

"I flattered the will of heaven, suppressed the people and attacked the unjust. The flags pointed to the west, and Chongzhen stopped his hands. Songjin cities were vulnerable. Now I am the king of the Eight Banners and the powerful brigades, and returned to Liaodong. Although the general followed the Chu Gong to take advantage of my temporary weakness, stealing several cities in Liaodong and becoming enemies with me, I am willing to go through the past."

"If the general leads his people to come back and opens the city to welcome him, then our Qing Dynasty will have the original official and be named a vassal king. His descendants will enjoy wealth and honor forever, just like the eternal mountains and rivers."

After Fu Shan saw it, he just sneered a few times. This is considered a coercion and inducement? But the Tartars were threatened by the so-called 50,000 cannons? Thousand cannons? Thousand cannons? The tiger squat cannons are also counted.

He was granted the title of vassal king and retained the original official, which was even more tempting to Fu Shan.

"I am the general of the Heavenly Kingdom, how could I be tempted by the Tartars?"

After saying that, Fu Shan directly teared up the letter of surrender.

The Bayala under the city was still waiting for a reply. Fu Shan tore up the letter of persuasion and scattered it directly from the top of the city. Countless fragments immediately flew like a group of butterflies.

The Bayala under the city did not expect this result at all. He was stunned for a while and then became angry.

He pointed and yelled at the top of the city for a while, and finally pulled off his pants and urinated on the top of the city.

"The Tartars are arrogant." Fu Shan snorted coldly.

Zhang Guozhu took the flying fire gun from the hand of the guard next to him. This is the latest flintlock gun, which has improved the performance a lot compared to the original style. The official name is the Ghost Car.

He checked the guns familiarly. Then he raised them, his wide butt was pressed against his shoulders, and one side was against his cheeks.

With a shot in hand, Zhang Guozhu was fully focused.

With a bang, Bayala, who was still singing while singing water, fell down and fell into the piss he was scattering, and in the snow, the piss was still steaming.

After whistling, Zhang Guozhu returned the gun to the gunman, and praised him, "The gun is well maintained."

Fu Shan did not blame Gou Sheng for his actions. The Tartars were the first to die, no one else could blame him. He just smiled, and then stretched out his right hand to the Qing army position in the distance and raised his middle finger.

The Chu army knew the meaning of this gesture. The old nine-headed birds had seen Chu Gong use it and felt that a gesture contained infinite meaning.

In the Qing army formation, Dorgon saw that an army actually shot the envoy, his eyes turned red with anger. He held a thousand-mile mirror and looked at the city, but happened to see a Ming army general wearing a bear-skinned cloak, raising his middle finger towards him.

This gesture looks like a big erected

Then, the clever Prince Rui immediately understood the meaning of the gesture, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

"Get up the cannon formation, blow it to me, and blow it hard!" Dorgon roared and shouted.

Dorgon was extremely angry and waved his hand and roared. He came all the way and was full of confidence, but unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the city of Liaoyang, he was covered in dust by the Chu army.

Fu Shan turned around and entered the city gate tower in a very casual manner. There was a strong burning brazier inside. There was no need to stand outside and blow the cold wind. After he sat down at his commander's seat, the table had just been placed with freshly brewed ginseng oolong ginseng, and there were some pastries such as osmanthus cake and frozen pear next to it.

The officers also followed in and sat back to their seats.

Everyone seemed to have no regard for the enemies outside the city. Sitting in the house was more like a group of people sitting around in the countryside in the cold winter and cooking fires in the winter. In fact, the relationships at all levels in the Chu army were indeed very close. In some aspects, Liu Jun highly praised the soldiers as close as a family, especially the brothers in the same company, who were life and death brothers who ate, lived and fought side by side.

Comrades are like brothers, and officers are like parents.

While drinking morning tea, the genital general Zhang Guozhu said, "After about half an hour, the Tartars' artillery position will be set up."

His words caused a burst of laughter.

Everyone saw the Tartars' letter of persuasion, and also saw the words Dorgon was proud and full of flaunting, the Eight Banners' powerful brigades and thousands of red barbarian cannons. In fact, the Chu army's reconnaissance cavalry had already figured out the details of the Tartars, but only 50,000 troops, and some of them included Aha. The so-called Thousand Red Barbarian cannons are even more exaggerated. They are really considered to be the cannons of the Red Barbarian cannons, with only a hundred large and large sizes, and the rest are general cannons, Franc, and even tiger squat cannons together.

"The Tartars are preparing to set up the artillery array one mile outside the city." Another officer said with a laugh.

"It's normal. Even if there are hundreds of cannons, they can be called Red Barbarian cannons. However, there are only twenty or thirty of them that can be called Red Barbarian cannons. Even if the Red Barbarian cannons have a short range, let alone the accuracy. If he doesn't push the cannon array to about one mile under the city, he will not hit the city wall at all."

"Dorgon really thought he had obtained a few eliminated goods from Wu Sangui that we threw away, and he thought he was also arrogant? Hahaha, in a while, we will let him know what cannon is."

Fu Shan picked up the tea and took a sip, put it down, and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, be careful to scare the fish away."

Everyone chatted and drank tea in the house, which was very relaxed. However, outside, the staff members on the top of the city were busy and nervously observing and recording the arrangements of the Qing army outside the city. Through the thousand-mile mirror, they observed the various flags, armors, etc. of the Qing army, and then the rebels' strength everywhere, looking for their main force and their tactical arrangements.

"The Tartars set up two artillery arrays. One of the east and west wings, and they have been pushed to a distance of 600 steps from the city to build artillery arrays. It is estimated that both sides have two hundred kilograms of red artillery guns, including more than 3,000 kilograms of red artillery guns, each with ten kilograms of red artillery guns, and three kilograms of red artillery guns of more than 5,000 kilograms. The other two artillery arrays also have many large, medium and small trunks of Fran, and some general artillery guns. These general artillery guns are somewhat similar to tiger squats, with larger shapes, but they are mainly aimed at launching shotguns, with extremely close ranges."

"Except for the Red Cannon and the Large Flagship, the rest of the cannons cannot hit the city walls, and the other cannons are probably guarding cannon formations."

The staff members made quick judgments.

"In addition to the flag of the Zhengbai Banner in the south of the city, it can be basically judged that the white, red and red are also there. In terms of the number, it is basically in line with the number of people previously detected, about 50,000."

"The Tartars did not find any siege equipment in the Tartars formation. In the preliminary rebels, the Tartars still need to log on the spot to temporarily build siege equipment. Within at least three days, the Tartars will not be able to launch a formal attack for the time being."

The reports finally gathered in front of Fu Shan.

The Chu army system, the Chief of Staff led the General Staff, and there were the Intelligence Department, the General Staff, and the Operations Department, which managed all the staff members. They were responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, combat operations and deployment adjustments. However, the final decision-making power did not belong to the Chief of Staff, and other coaches, military supervisors, politicians, etc., and the final decision-making power was only the military chief.

In terms of mobilizing troops and commanding decisions, no one can interfere with the decentralization of power.

"A cannon formation is set up six hundred steps away from the city." Fu Shan chuckled, "It seems that Dorgon is just like that. We have been in Liao for so long. Do he still don't know the true strength of our nine-headed bird artillery? Is he ignorant and arrogant, or real stupidity? Where did he get the confidence that he dares to set up the cannon formation six hundred steps away from us?"

"It is estimated that Dorgon was the gun array position determined based on the range of the cannons in his hand. The Tartars can shoot not far, and Wu Sangui's cannons are also not far.

The Ming Dynasty had three hundred and sixty steps per mile, one step was five feet, and one mile was one hundred and eighty feet.

Six hundred steps, it is more than one and a half miles. This distance can reach only the range of the Red Cannon, and the accuracy is very low. If the Qing army's artillery array is released at the back point, they will not be able to hit Liaoyang City at all.

Even the 32-pound long cannon in the Chu army's heavy artillery regiment had a maximum range of only more than 2,000 meters. The average field cannon is about one kilometer, such as mountain grenades, and even only three or five hundred meters. In this way, they have to fire solid bullets. If they fire shrunks or shotguns, the range will be reduced by half immediately.
